As always – I have hidden goals – that keep me motivated – this time – it was maintaining my weight below 180. 41 out of 52 days – I weighed in below 180. The lowest – 175 – for a brief shining moment. Of the 11 days at 180 or above – the highest number was 182.5. On Day one of the Challenge I weighed 180.9. On Day 52, I weighed 177. Life is sweet.

This is a helluv an eating time frame. This past week were two events: A business Happy Hour on Tuesday – crap bar food. A Charity Cocktail Party on Thursday night – High End Bar Food. Saturday evening my daughter is treating us to a fancy Steak House dinner for my wife’s 70th. Sunday – her actual birthday – cake with the grand kids for lunch and her sister is taking us out to another fancy restaurant to celebrate – again.

Monday morning – we start all over – eating that is – on the right track.

We work hard so we can enjoy times like this – otherwise – why bother?
